Business Wire, May 16, 2005

Deltek:

Who:        Cindy Kalkwarf, Product Director of Deltek, and Lawrence
            Lake, Managing Director of Protiviti, will be speaking on
            the ways in which best practices in financial accounting
            have been impacted by recent trends and legislation
            surrounding the Sarbanes-Oxley Act (SOX). Lake brings 25
            years of experience in healthcare, technology and
            regulatory compliance to Protiviti, a leading provider of
            independent internal audit and risk consulting services.
            Kalkwarf, a 20-year-veteran in finance and accounting,
            heads Deltek's SOX Task Force. With more than 8,000
            customers, Herndon, VA-based Deltek is a leading provider
            of ERP solutions for project-based businesses and
            professional services firms.

What:       Lake will address how nonprofit organizations will be
            impacted by the latest state and federal legislation for
            SOX, and Kalkwarf will discuss the importance of aligning
            technology solutions with SOX regulatory standards. Both
            industry experts will describe how SOX has greatly
            expanded corporate governance requirements, protecting
            investors by improving the accuracy and reliability of
            corporate financial disclosures. Although SOX was enacted
            to eliminate financial misstatements for public companies,
            its principles form the foundation of sound financial
            management for all companies, including those in the
            nonprofit sector.

Where:      Buena Vista Room
            Don CeSar Beach Resort
